Rose is a small Chiweenie/Shih Tzu mix who came from a unique situation—she lived with one elderly owner and had little outside exposure. Because of her background, she is extremely shy and takes time to trust people. She does best in a quiet home, especially one with another small, confident dog who can show her the ropes. Rose knows how to use a dog door and is house trained, but she prefers slow transitions and needs to feel safe while bonding with her adopter. She is not the type to simply be put into a backyard, as she could panic and get lost. Her ideal adopter is patient and committed, understanding that progress comes at Rose's pace, not ours. If you’re looking for a gentle project dog and have the time and heart to earn her trust, Rose could be a wonderful companion. As a Sagittarius, she may surprise you with her adaptability once she feels secure. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
